I feel so spoiled right now. Eva goes down around 9:30-10:30 and sleeps till 4:00-5:30, nurses and back to sleep till 8:00. It's seriously nothing I've done, it's just her routine. *knock on wood* My other 6 didn't sleep through the night till they were much older. (2-3 years old). My others also didn't tolerate NOT sleeping next to me. She sleeps in her playpen next to our bed all swaddled up and left alone. I, personally would much prefer to have her sleep next to me, in our bed, in my arms, but she doesn't sleep well. This is really new territory for me.

Hang in there Holly. Remember to try and nap when she naps (Lol.. Like I ever took that advice with my others) I know it's not easy. I have the "No-Cry Sleep Solution". Didn't work for us or I just didn't have the patience to follow through with it. I was a grumpy, irate Zombie for a very long time! No one said It would be easy, only that it would be worth it.

Taking Katie in to the dentist today to have 3 cavities filled. The enamel on her teeth is horrid! When she was 18 months she had her first sedation. She's now almost 3 years. (18 months later) with 3 more cavities. Thankfully, she did really well last Wednesday with our regular dentist, so she will only be partially sedated. I get to give her the meds at 9:00 MST for our 9:30 appointment. Wish us luck. Going to be putting a diaper on her as she may loose her bladder control. She won't be happy about that at all!

Finley sleeps like a champ; her mother, on the other hand, never learns and stays up way too late most nights anyway.

We finally got our birth announcements made, now I just need the motivation to get them sent out. We didn't get Mally's out until he was 3 months old, oops.

I'm having a hard time not going crazy buying baby stuff with all the sales on now. I keep telling myself we don't need more diapers, we don't need more clothes, we don't need more toys... we don't need more diapers, we don't need more clothes, we don't need more toys... we don't need more diapers, we don't need more clothes, we don't need more toys...

E's sleep routine - Sleep from sometime between 8 and 10 for 4-5 hours, wake, eat, go back to sleep for 2.5-3 hours, wake eat, sleep again. All those sleep sessions WERE on me on the couch, but the last 2 nights the first 2 took place in her bassinet in our room. After the second feeding, however, she won't go down in her crib, so I bring her into bed with me.

Black Friday - I mostly managed to avoid most of the sales and stuff. I got a couple of things I would have bought anyway (or made, but it was cheaper to buy since they were priced well and I would of had to get supplies)... I did get the big kids each a pair of Crocs (something I said I would never do, but I really need my 2 yo to be able to put his own shoes on, and his tennis shoes are just too difficult to get on) and DH and XBOX 360 (another thing I said I would never do... but I couldn't pass it up for $99 since he has told me repeatedly how much he wants one). Haven't decided if the crocs will go under the tree or not. Other than that the kids (all 3) were already done, so I didn't need to shop on BF.

The big kids and I are making salt dough ornaments today. Made the dough already. I have white, blue, red and green (and my hands are colored accordingly...) I made a big batch and split it into 4, then added Wilton's gel colors and kneaded it in

Lorelei has a similar schedule as well! I feel very lucky however, I'm sure at some point it will change. The only difference for us is that she sleeps in bed with us. She'll sleep on her own but since she also sleeps great with us, I choose to enjoy it while it lasts I can't pay my 2 year old to sleep in our bed and she slept with us until 18 months!
